Linn experts...some questions RE: Linn LV X arm. Bearing play? Extra headshell availability?

Hello. I have a Linn LV X arm that I've just purchased. I'm wondering if anyone can answer the following questions:

A) I notice that with the arm mounted, there is a very slight amount of play in the pivot. I can grasp the arm tube and wiggle it back and forth. We're talking a very small amount here, but it's NOT dead solid tight. Is this normal or do I have a lemon? Can the bearings be tightened up?

B) I am also wondering about availability of extra headshells for this arm so I can swap cartridges easily. Does anyone know if these spare parts can be had?
